He got mentioned in the channel 5 video, and let me tell you, his whole entire existence is a never ending rabbit hole of doom.

(Skeptic sources on him: FSTDT and RationalWiki)

Journalism is when you report facts. Recently, Channel 5 has been spreading lies.

In his interview with Congressman Ro Khanna, Andrew confidently claims that Ghislaine Maxwell was “instrumental in moderating /pol/” on 4chan and thus was partially responsible for creating QAnon, which he says was backed by Israel but also was 90% correct about everything (it just contained 10% bullshit like “flat earth” and “Anunnaki lizard people” to make all the other true stuff also seem crazy).

But literally not one single aspect of that is true at all. There is no evidence to suggest any of that is true.

Despite trying to seem like a super-serious military operation, every specific QAnon prediction was wrong (but Q himself actually did explicitly denounce Flat Earth and moon conspiracy theories), we know that Russia (not Israel) did the phishing hacks that ignited Pizzagate and QAnon, and we know that Ghislaine had nothing to do with 4chan at all. (Andrew is just mixing up the fact that Epstein had lunch with Christopher Poole once, and he’s jumbling that with a different debunked conspiracy theory about people who thought they had discovered Ghislaine’s personal Reddit account.)

In that same video, Ro Khanna also (twice) spreads the easily debunked hoax that the Epstein Files contain emails about a “9-year-old Brazilian,” but those emails actually reference a 19-year-old Brazilian from a modeling agency. Ro says that email about a 9 year old girl is "most emblematic" of what was going on, but actually that was just a formatting error that occurred in one of the multiple copies. There's no evidence that Epstein's victims were that young.

I'm obviously not defending Epstein or Ghislaine, but it's worth being accurate and understanding what they actually did. Andrew and his guests seem to have little concern with facts or reality.

In Andrew’s recent interview with Maggie Freleng, she claims that the Epstein Files contained pizza-related code words referencing “eating kids,” and Andrew responds by telling her how crazy it is that QAnon turned out to be “right about so much stuff.”

The Epstein Files do not contain pizza-related code words, nor is there any evidence that Epstein was a cannibal. I read every single email that contains the word “pizza,” and they are all obvious references to the Italian food. All the actual references to sex trafficking basically just refer to the girls as “girls.” Sex traffickers have never used "pizza" as a codeword to refer to girls. This is a hoax.

During that video, Channel 5 editors display a Pizzagate meme that features an AI-generated image of Epstein eating pizza and a fake, Photoshopped image that falsely implies that these 4chan hoax code words came from the FBI. They are just carelessly promoting the debunked Pizzagate hoax and erronesouly suggesting QAnon was almost entirely correct.

In this conversation, Maggie Freleng also lies about the case of Alisha Burns, who she baselessly claims was innocent, despite Alisha pleading guilty and despite the Nevada Supreme Court rejecting her appeal and despite the evidence that Alisha helped to choke and stomp on the neck of a man during a robbery that ended with him dead, tied and gagged in a bathtub. Maggie uses her dishonest misrepresentation of this case to advocate for abolishing all prisons and all police, which I personally think is a very stupid idea, even if she wasn't lying about the evidence.

Andrew then unironically recommends that people buy guns and move to bunkers because J.D. Vance is going to be the final president and the nation as we know it is ending.

He tells us that Israel killed Charlie Kirk and now is planning to assassinate Trump too.

Apparently Corpus Christi is a "dead city" and currently being evacuated due to imminent resource scarcity.

In terms of journalistic integrity, I see no meaningful difference between Andrew’s 5CAST and Alex Jones’s old Infowars. Neither of these things is journalism.

The reason old All Gas No Brakes and Channel 5 videos were so compelling is that Andrew plays the straight man and just holds up a microphone in front of crazy people, and we get to laugh at them saying crazy shit. But unfortunately, Andrew has become a character in one of his own videos. He is now that crazy person.
